Notes on this filing

C1: applicant, admit and enrollee totals are sums of male and female rows (unknown = 0); they match the residency totals printed in C1.
C1: enrolled first-time first-year students total 6559 (3151+12 male, 3388+8 female), full- and part-time.
C2: waitlist block read by position: offered 247, accepted a place 0, admitted from waitlist 0.
C13/C22: early action is offered (nonbinding), but applicant and admit counts are not printed; early decision is not offered.
B4-B21: the 4-year graduation rate is not printed for the 2019 cohort (only completers in 4 years as counts), so it is null; the 6-year rate is the printed 2019 cohort rate (line H, total column).
G1: tuition differs by residency (in-state 10490, out-of-state 40253), so the single tuition field is null. Required fees and food and housing use the first-year column. Tuition also varies by program (G4: 23.8% of full-time undergraduates pay more).
G0/G1: 2026-27 costs are not final and will be available around May 14, 2026. The 2026-27 figures are used as printed.
H1/H2: the year checkbox for the H-section data is ambiguous in the PDF text; it appears to be 2024-25 final, and the H2 column for first-time full-time first-year is used.
H2: pct_with_need_awarded_aid is not printed as a percent (only counts: 1928 awarded of 1931 with need), so it is null. pct_need_fully_met is computed as H (523) / D (1928) = 27.1, as instructed.
H2: avg_need_based_package uses line J (average financial aid package of all students awarded aid), since no need-based-only package figure is printed.
B22: retention is 5530 of 5726 (96.6%), as printed.
